Lineup Change
Posted on Jan 16 2010 | No Comments
According to a fan’s post on the official Helmet forum, former Helmet guitarist Chris Traynor has indicated via his Facebook page that he’s currently working on the recording of Helmet’s as yet untitled new album.
In early November 2009, I’d been made aware that Jon Fuller was no longer a member of Helmet and, though I was asked to put up new pictures of the band – sans Jon – on the band’s various web presences, no official statement was to be made. A few observant fans noticed Jon’s absence from the new photographs but, if anyone drew any conclusions, no-one was saying so. Tellingly, Toshi Kasai, who is producing the new Helmet album, announced on 12 November via his MySpace blog that recording has been suspended, ostensibly while new material is written.
So Chris’s Facebook post means that recording has resumed, presumably with the former rhythm guitarist reprising his Size Matters and Monochrome roles as stand-in bass player…
